3.Transverse waves on a string have wave speed of 8.00 m/s, amplitude of 0.0700 m, and wavelength of 0.320 m. The waves travel in the -x-direction, and at t = 0 the x = 0 end of the string has its maximum upward displacement. (a) Find the frequency, period, and wave number of these waves. (b) Write a wave function describing the wave. = (c) Find the transverse displacement of a particle at x = 0.360 m at time t 0.150 s. (d) How much time must elapse from the instant in part (c) until the particle at x = 0.360 m next has maximum upward displacement?
